Set on a quiet residential street just around the corner from Hilly Fields, this Victorian mid-terrace offers a spacious three-bedroom family layout across three floors. The property includes a double reception, a modest private garden and extends to about 1,180 sq ft — generous proportions for this part of Ladywell. Sold freehold and chain-free, it’s immediately habitable with clear scope to add value by extending at ground level and converting the loft (subject to planning).
Characterful period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and wooden floors give the house immediate charm, while modern conveniences include double glazing and mains gas central heating. The location is convenient: excellent public transport links via St John’s, Lewisham and Ladywell stations, good local schools nearby and fast broadband and strong mobile signal.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the plot is small and there’s only one bathroom, so growing families should note space limits in the garden. The building is solid brick with assumed limited wall insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. The area records above-average crime and pockets of deprivation, which should be weighed against the strong local amenities and school options.
For buyers planning a longer-term project, the property’s freehold status, size and permitted development potential present clear upside — particularly for those seeking to add a ground-floor extension and loft conversion (STPP). This is a good fit for a family or owner-occupier who values location, period character and scope to increase living space and value.
